IAC (Internal Arc Classification)
PM106615
The metal-enclosed switchgear is classified
for internal arc protection in accordance with
IEC 62271-200 where AFLR is defined as follows:
Type of accessibility
• A: Restricted access to authorized personnel
only. Sides of the enclosure which meet the
criteria of the internal arc test
• F: Front side This internal arc solution protects the operator when in the vicinity of switchgear
• L: Lateral side under normal operating conditions.
• R: Rear side
• The internal arc classification is an option in accordance with IEC 62271-
200 and EN 62271-200. It refers to the effect of internal excess pressure on
covers, doors, inspection ports, vents etc. Moreover, the thermal effects of the
internal arc and its origins on the enclosure, as well as escaping hot gases or
incandescent particles, are taken into account.
• As a reminder, metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear are granted Internal
PM106636
Arc Classification if all the following criteria are met:

-- No 1: Correctly secured doors and covers cannot be opened
-- No 2: No enclosure fragmentation occurs during the arc fault
-- No 3: Arcing does not cause holes by burning through the classified sides
up to a height of 2 000 mm
-- No 4: Indicators do not ignite due to the effect of hot gases
-- No 5: The enclosure remains connected to the earthing point

Loss of service continuity

PM106620
The cubicle is a LSC2B (Loss of Service Continuity Category) type as defined

by IEC standard 62271-200; in other words, the medium voltage parts are
compartmented using metal partitions (PM class) which are connected to earth and
which separate:
• The busbars
• The withdrawable part (circuit breaker, disconnector truck or metering truck)
• The MV connections, earthing switch, current sensors and voltage transformers,
as required
• The LV cabinet
In terms of personnel, PIX RoF with EasyPact EXE provides to a high level of
protection; when a compartment containing a main circuit is open, the other
compartments and/or functional units may remain energised.
The low voltage auxiliaries and monitoring unit are in a control cabinet separated
from the medium voltage section.
Four basic cubicle layouts are offered:
• Incomer or feeder
• Busbar coupler
• Busbar riser
• Busbar metering
Strength of experience
• Fully compliant with IEC standards for AC metal-enclosed switchgear for rated
voltages above 1 kV and up to 53 kV
• More than 50 years experience in medium voltage switchgear design

Components EasyPact EXE circuit breaker
General characteristics
PM106400
EasyPact EXE is our latest range of state-of-the-art vacuum circuit breakers. Its
design is the result of more than 40 years of Schneider Electric experience in
switching devices. Its wide geographical deployment makes it a key PIX Easy
equipment component.
It has been designed to suit specific applications such as: Infrastructure,
Commercial and Industrial buildings, Industrial plants and Distribution substations.
The materials used to manufacture this circuit breaker have been selected and
designed to operate 10 000 cycles.
Mechanism
PM106412
The operating mechanism gives the device an opening and closing speed that is
independent of the operator whether the order is electrical or manual. It carries out
reclosing cycles and it is automatically recharged by a geared motor after each
closing.
Vacuum interrupter
This component is the heart of the circuit breaker. This specific Schneider designed
component breaks the rated short circuit and this is achieved by:
• Choosing materials that are specifically intended for this application (metals and
ceramics)
• Choosing an appropriate assembly process (vacuum, high temperature brazing)
• The use of a "getter" material to absorb the residual gas inside the enclosure
Racking device
PM106402
The racking device moves the circuit breaker from the disconnected position to the
service position and vice versa.
The EasyPact EXE racking device has a robust interlocking system with the
switchgear door, the LV plug, the circuit breaker and the earthing switch.
The materials used to manufacture EasyPact EXE racking trolley sub-assemblies
have been selected and designed to operate 2 000 cycles under the conditions
Racking device defined by the IEC standard.

Arc fault protection
The arc protection unit detects an arc Vamp arc flash range
flash in an installation and trips the
feeding breaker
PM106633
An arc flash protection system
minimizes material damage caused by
arc faults. Vamp 321
Arc flash protection minimizes material damage to the

installation in the most hazardous power system fault
situations.
Minimized damage also minimizes repair work which
means the power supply can be restored as quickly
as possible.
Advantages
Enhanced personnel safety

The shorter the operating time of the arc flash protection unit, the smaller the
damage caused by the arc fault thereby minimizing possible power outages..
Extended switchgear life cycle

The arc protection unit increases the lifecycle expectancy of switchgear
installations, so that investment in new switchgear installations can be postponed
and money can be saved by re-Vamping existing switchgear systems.
Reduced insurance costs

The faster and better the protection system of a power installation, the more
generous the insurance terms and costs.
Low investment costs and fast installation

A comprehensive arc protection system is characterized by low investment costs
and fast installation and commissioning times. One successful arc flash protection
unit operation provides an immediate return on your investment.
Reliable Operation
Operation is based on the appearance of light or alternatively on the appearance of
light and current from an external device. The system is immune to faulty trippings
due to dual tripping criteria: light & current.
